TIL. Ohio River Road Blocked.

The recent wet weather has had the
effect of pretty effectually blOckading the
Ohio River railroad in the vicinity of Le-
tart Narrows. A heavy slip has covered
the track, and the telegraph line is also
down. One train is below the slip, and its
movements are confined to the extreme
south end of the line. Passengers from
Charleston for this city are compelled to 90
through Ohio. 1t is hoped to have the line
clear by tonight.

lies in the fact that lately that the cost OF

Why Tarbox Howled.
From the Lepiston (Me.l Journe

from the LeUtStOn l4de.) JOuFUdt.
Look at that Maine individual over there in
the.red flannel shirt which is not even on speak
ing terms with soap. You might not think from
a casual observation that he has any peculiari-
ties whatever, but the other day he came down
with terrible toothache,Aan ache that reared,
and kicked and ''buckedn all within thirty Sec
onds till this world ceased to have any attrac-
tions for the man who was entertaining it.
Well he just couldn't stand it any longer, and
started post haste for dentist in neighboring
town.
The proprietor of a hardware store in close
proximity to this dentist was standing in the
door of his store that afternoon when he heard
a most terrible and ear splitting shrek proceed
ing from the Office of the man of teeth He had
become accustomed to means and subdued eX-
CARNATIONS from that quarter, but never had he
heard such believing as now pierced the air.
His curiosity was so thoroughly aroused that a
little later ON he walked into the dentists office
and said: Whom have you been butchering
| over here? never heard such yell in all my
life"
''Oh," replied the extractor of molars, that
was old John Tarbox, from T. He had a
tooth out''
Had tooth out.'' replied the visitor, well,
| l should think so, and it must have come mighty
| hard to fetch such a roar as that
"Oh. dear, no, said the dentist, ''he didn't
make that noise when l pulled the tooth. 1t
was afterward." &
| ''Afterward!''
''Why, yes" was the reply, "the tooth came
| easily enough. The time he fetched that cry OF
agony was when l charged him Soc for doing

The Catching of OYSTERS.

There can be such thing as too much
legislation. A case in point is the bill re-
Gently introduced in the State Senate to
prohibit the catching of oysters at certain
seasons" the text of which was printed in
Sundays MORNING NEWS The evident
purpose of the proposed measure is to pre-
vent the catching of oysters altogether, ex-
cept by permission of the owners of prop
erty along the coast of the sea islands, rivers
and creeks.
In Georgia there is an immense water
area in which oysters are found, and in pro-
curing this healthful and much-prized food
to supply the markets of many towns and
cities hundreds of people find the means of
livelihood. Many of them are colored peo-
pie who could not readily earn an honest
living in other pursuits, and would be driven
to crime by want. In their present occupa-
ton they contribute to the comfort and
w@ll-being of the community, and it is
questionable public policy to drive
them out of it and subject the
public to the exactions of the
monopoly rendered possible by this bill. The
oyster is wholesome food and is now so
cheap as to be within the reach of everyone.
Under the conditions created by the pro-
posed law it would in all probability become
luxury attainable only by the few.
1t is well enough that the law should pro-
tect the owners Of cultivated oyster beds
their expenditure of labor gives them
property rights. The wisdom is very ques-
tionable, however, of virtually making it a
crime to catch oysters along coasts and
creeks without the permission Of the owners
of adjoining lands If there are any oys-
ter beds of which exclusive ownership is
claimed let the claimant defend his rights
under the ordinary law.
There is no analogy between the objects
of this bill and of that recently passed deal
ing with terrapins. There was q growing
danger that the terrapin would be extermi-
mated This the law attempts TO prevent.
without bestowing exclusive rights on any
body. The oyster is so abundant on the
Georgia coast that there is no danger of a
scarcity for many years if ever, and the
proposed law would injure great many
people for the benefit of very few.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-09-28
A Lack of Sincerity.

Within few years the number of politi-
cal parties in this country has greatly in
creased Where before were only the Demo
cratic and Republican there are now in
addition the Prohibition, the Socialistic,
the American and two or more divisions of
the Labor party, all energetically work
ing tc advance each its peculiar ideas of
government There is little probability
that either of the minor parties will ever
gain control of the government, but their
existence makes it possible for party not
representing the wishes of majority of
the people to sometimes control the destinies
of the country, The votes given to their
candidates, as far as measures really up
for consideration are concerned, are with
out influence, and, therefore, wasted.
Thousands of voters have for years sur
rendered their rightful share in the govern
ment in order to protest against the liquor
traffic. Perhaps thousands more will next
year do the same thing to help call atten-
ton to Georges land theories, or to the
dangers of the naturalization laws.
One cause for this craze for political
novelties has undoubtedly been the lack Of
well-defined, clear issues between the two
great parties and the lack of sincerity in
their platforms. The people grow impatient
when year after year the same old questions
are voted upon, and, 10 matter what the
result, continue to take up all time and at
tention, to the exclusion of new questions.
The most important of the issues upon
which the parties have divided is that of the
70 N
party's position should bo thoroughly under
stood, it is this. Yet the declaration of tn G
last Democratic national platform was SO
worded as to enable a faction to twist it to
meaning directly opposite to that
which its authors doubtless intended. and to
the traditional policy of the party. This
faction has since thwarted all efforts TO
carry into, effect the promises made to the
people 1t is not too late to make an honest
effort to keep faith with them, and it is
cheering TO know that such an effort will
soon be made.
This is the instance in which the Demo
Cratic party has been most at fault. The
history of the Republican party for years is
a record of promises unperformed.
II is not unnatural that people who feel
strongly on certain subjects should desert to
new parties in the hope of forcing action
upon them, when they see the promise and
the performance OF the old political organi-
cations so far apart They lose faith in
the sincerity of platform promises, and
look upon the party leaders as mere trick
sters, ANXIOUS TO retain Office and Indifferent
10 everything else.
There is no doubt that "A large increase in
this class of people would be a national mis-
fortune. The way to prevent such an in
crease is TO take n bold, open stand upon
every public question, and to make faith
ful effort TO perform every promise at what
ever cost Parties would then represent
ideas, not traditions alone.
